Scattering of light.
Light will be both absorbed and will be reflected unevenly (scattered) when impinging on a surface that is irregular. It depends on the light and the surface, but some light will be absorbed, and the rest (a little or a lot) will be scattered when it is reflected in different directions.
Reflection or refraction if the wave scatters.
When light waves bounce off matter, it is called reflection. This happens when light waves hit a smooth and shiny surface, causing them to bounce off at the same angle they hit the surface.
When light rays bounce back, they are called reflections. This phenomenon occurs when light waves strike a surface and are redirected in different directions. Reflections are responsible for how we see objects and images around us.
This phenomenon is called reflection. When light rays hit a surface and bounce off, they create an image of the object.

When waves bounce from a surface back toward the source, it is called reflection. This phenomenon occurs when waves encounter a boundary and return in the opposite direction.
The interaction of light beams with a surface is called regular reflection when the light beams reflect off all points of the surface at the same angle. When the light beams hit the surface and reflect off in different angles it is called diffuse reflection.
The light that bounces off of a surface is called reflected light. When light hits a surface, some of it is absorbed, and the remaining light waves bounce off in different directions, creating reflection.
The interaction of light beams with a surface is called regular reflection when the light beams reflect off all points of the surface at the same angle. When the light beams hit the surface and reflect off in different angles it is called diffuse reflection.
That process is called reflection. Radiation can bounce off the surface of an object, changing direction but maintaining its energy.
The bouncing of waves off a surface is called reflection. When a wave encounters a boundary or surface, it can bounce back depending on the angle of incidence and the properties of the surface it's hitting.
When parallel rays of light hit a rough surface, the light scatters in different directions due to the uneven surface. This phenomenon is called diffuse reflection. It results in the light being reflected in various angles rather than a single angle as with smooth surfaces.
